Zamloch, the wizard, is certainly the
most skillful devote of the black art
who has ever appeared before an Olym-
pia audience. His tricks are per-
formed with grace and cleverness
that is truly marvellous, and with the
aid of the melancholy youth who as
sists him, he gives very enjoyable en-
tertainment, and throws in valuable
gifts to those who hold lucky numbers.
He performs again this evening and
tomorrow night.
Mr.. Erb is entitled to the credit of
making west Fourth street appear I'M
der new phase, by the way in which
he has improved the Maple Shade pro-
perty. He has leased the building and
lot extending back to the alley. At
his own expense he has fitted up a
first-class bakery, sales room and COT
fee stand. The roasting of coffee will
be specially with him. Everything
in the line of pastry-cooking will be
kept on hand. Years of experience
in his chosen trade qualities him for
filling the right place.
A man named Bernard Finnegan,
who was driving team for Mr.. E. I.
Young, met with sudden and violent
death, last Monday morning, about
10 o'clock, on the Westside, near Mr..
Young's residence. He had gone
over to Young's place after a load
for the hotel. From all that is
known it would appear that he had
started to town with load of wood,
and when, having arrived at the foot of
the hill and about to drive through
the gate opening from the wood lot
into the Westside road, he fell head
long from the wagon, striking his head
on the ground. He probably died in
stantly, as his body was cold when
found but short time afterwards by
Mr.. Wren, who was in the neighbor-
hood and heard the unfortunate man
shout "Whoa" to his horses. The re-
mains were taken care of by Messrs.
Rabbeson & Harmed. The funeral
services were held at one o'clock P. NJ,
at Young's hotel, Rev. Mr.. Massey of
the Methodist church officiating, and
the remains deposited in Odd Fellows
cemetery. Deceased was a stranger
here, having worked for Mr.. Young
only few days, but was well known
in Lewis county, where he had lived
for the past fifteen years. He was
born in Ireland, was a single man, in
dustrious and bore a good character.
